Answer 1

You can appeal. Your teacher will send of your course work to prove the standard you have been working at. I'm not sure how long this might take however.  As for college, they are likely to still let you in, especially if you just miss the grade.  I think colleges might have a 'clearing' system like uni's, which is when they open uo remaining places to people who have either not already applied to them or for people who want to do the course but didnt quite get the grades.

Good luck with your results! I hope you do well!

Answer 3

Hey,

onli answering this cos i'm scottish lol,

err..think for appeals, u need to have dropped like more than 2 grades, say u were predicted a 2 and got a 5.

You'd then have to get a folio of all your work and prelim grades and predictions and send it off to the sqa, i think =/

The appeals cost the school a lot of money so they obviously don't wanna do it for a drop of just a few grades.

Not even sure u can resit lol =s

I'm scared, i need a 1 or 2 and will probably get a 3, so not sure if i'll still get a chance to do the class anyway.

The s grades are so unfair in my opinion, that if u get a 1 or 2 ur fine but not with, say 1, 2 or 3 =[

My best advice to u is just good luck really ! (Yn)
